INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — It does indeed take a village to produce the Incline Star Follies shows.

You
need a producer — Ron Stichter — to obtain and coordinate the venue,
the lights and sound, the ticket, program and poster printing, and
numerous other production tasks.

You need a director — Don Hertel
— and a production crew, from the big village of San Diego, to work
with each of the acts, stage set-up, and music.

You need an
assistant director — Kathie Goldberg — to work with Don, cast the show,
coordinate the practices and rehearsals, make the show CDs, communicate
with the cast and crew, and countless other production details.

You need choreographers — Keli Maiocco, Karen Osborne, and Nancy Porten — to work with both student and adult cast members.

You
need administrators, staff, students and community members to cast in
the show — people willing to put in many hours to perform at their best.

You need a venue — the Cal Neva — just a short distance from our village.
